[QUOTE]Originally posted by notelvis: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by gp35: [qb] The really sad part is Amtrak agrees with the anti-creative thinking. As a result, Amtrak never improves. [/qb][/QUOTE]There are several documented examples of steam locomotives pulling Amtrak trains in the 1970's and 1980's. It's not like it hasn't been tried. I agree with you that steam locomotives are entertaining and I agree with you that they generate interest in railroad operations. I hope that we will always have historical organizations to keep those steam locomotives operating. My only disagreement is that Amtrak (and the Federal dollars behind Amtrak) should be spent on things other than maintaining steam locomotives. Clean, attractive modern equipment (like Talgo trains with their super-huge windows running through Pennsylvania or up the Hudson River) would go further than a steam locomotive in attracting new riders. I wouldn't quite say that Amtrak not operating a steam locomotive is evidence of a lack of creativity on Amtrak's part. [/QB][/QUOTE]
